Regardless of whether you use mirrors or not, if you set
BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS it will create tarballs in DL_DIR of the git
repositories. You can then stop trying to check in the /git/  and /git2/
subdirectories of DL_DIR and some of your problems will likely go away.

The reason this is not enabled by default is for performance reasons.
